NEWS: VOLVO XC60 AND XC90 HELP MAKE SUVS THE MOST POPULAR CAR TYPE IN THE COUNTRY

15 March, 2016 The most popular type of car in the UK is now the SUV, after a surge in buyers during February.

Models such as the Volvo XC60 and the new Volvo XC90 are selling in increasing numbers, as buyers ditch older-style family cars such as saloons and hatchbacks.

The figures, released by car industry analysts from the data firm Jato, show that 22,518 British cars sold in February were SUVs, making up more than a quarter of the 83,400 vehicles sold that month.

The SUV category covers a wide range of cars, including crossovers, such as the Volvo XC60, which are based on the same mechanical parts as conventional cars, for good ride comfort, but have been raised to benefit from the high driving position and versatility of a 4x4 vehicle. Proper off-road cars and large seven-seater SUVs such as the Volvo XC90 are also included in the category.

The figures follow the news in January that the Nissan Qashqai had become the most popular family car in Britain - the first time that a crossover had taken the title.

Buyers have been trading in hatchbacks for SUVs for more than a decade, since a new generation of family-friendly models appeared. These cars, including the Volvo XC90, were some of the first to focus less on off-road ability and more on practicality. They featured cubbyholes around the vehicle, simple controls and were comfortable and relaxing to drive.

Since then more models have joined the line-up. Some, such as the Volvo XC60 pioneered advanced features such as City Safety automatic braking, earning it a five-star car safety rating. Nissan stopped making its Primera family car in favour of the fast-selling Qashqai and, more recently, Mitsubishi introduced the Outlander Plug-in hybrid SUV, which became Britain’s most popular electric car.

Seven-seater SUVs such as the Volvo XC90 brought the option of more style to families who had previously only had the option of people carriers that looked like buses.

The SUV sales surge is now transferring to the second-hand market, as buyers trade in earlier generations of SUVs for the latest models, increasing the number of used Volvo SUVs for sale. There are already nearly new Volvo XC90s for sale - the current generation is one of the best seven seater SUVs - with cheap finance deals and discounts on the list price.

The previous-generation Volvo XC90 is one of the best used SUVs. It was available with seven-seats and its design is still Scandi-chic. It’s on sale for under £20,000, or less than £300 on a representative finance deal. Volvo XC60 offers for dealer-approved cars start from £12,699 and a little over £200 per month on a representative finance deal.

HISTORY OF VOLVO CARS

More recently, Volvo has aligned itself with the Swedish tradition of elegant, minimalist design. Its cars, once criticised for being boxy and dull in appearance despite their safety attributes, have started to take on sleeker more appealing forms with innovative interiors. The current range is edgier and more youthful than ever before, offering a real alternative to the German premium brands.

Safety is the area where Swedish manufacturer Volvo traditionally excels. The firm was started in 1927 by Asaar Gabrielsson after his wife died in a car accident. He vowed to produce the safest cars possible as a result and the motor manufacturing arm of the Volvo corporation has done a sterling job of living up to its founder's vision ever since.

Down the years, Volvo engineers have been the originators of numerous technologies that subsequently went on to become standard across the automotive industry. The laminated windscreen in 1944, the three-point seat belt in 1959, energy-absorbent crumple zones in 1966, rear seat belts in 1967, ABS brakes in 1984, a driver's airbag in 1987, ISOFIX child seat attachments in 2000, they all appeared first on a Volvo.

Volvo benefits greatly from engine and chassis technologies developed by parent company Ford particularly at the lower end of its range. The cars are still distinctly Volvo, however, with a character all of their own. Highlights of the current line-up include the C30, a premium hatchback with a strong sporty element, and the XC90, a luxury 4x4 with a versatile, family-friendly interior.
